Urban planning, since it is related to the allocation and distribution of scarce resources among different places in the city, its reliance on the criteria of spatial distribution of urban services, it is necessary.

Research purpose:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial distribution of urban service uses in urban centers of Mazandaran province.

The present research is of applied type and its method is descriptive-analytical. The data required for the research were collected using the library method and documents from the statistical yearbook of Mazandaran province in 2017. In this study, to measure the spatial distribution of urban services, the indicators of recreational-welfare services, transportation services, urban infrastructure, urban development, urban green space, educational services, health services and cultural services have been used. Vikor model has been used to rank the urban centers of Mazandaran cities based on the status of urban services development.Geographical area of research The study area is the city centers of Mazandaran province.

Findings show that only 7 cities of the province, which include urban areas of 4 cities of Babolsar, Fereydunkenar, Kelardasht and Ramsar, are in fully-owned, well-off and semi-well-served groups, and their citizens are in a position to enjoy urban services. They have an ideal. In other words, providing services to citizens in the cities of Babolsar, Bahnmir, Hadi Shahr, Fereydunkenar, Kelardasht, Ramsar and Katalam and Sadatshahr is largely acceptable.

Conclusion :

The results show that nearly 90% of the cities of Mazandaran province in terms of urban service indicators are unfavorable and below average and the lack of urban services considered in the study is felt in proportion to the population of these cities.

Viability in its original and general meaning is as the concept of achieving viability that focuses on quality of life at the local level and it has evolved over the years and often reflects the ideal relationship between the living environment and social life. According to this issue, the formation of settlements, especially in hot arid rigen and their livability, is a clear symbol of human-nature interaction in the desert environment, despite of the exsisting the water supply problems and limited water resources. One of the innovative measures of Iranians adaptation to arid climate is Qanat, which has directly affected the way of life and viability of these areas, as the sustainable water supply system. For this purpose, in this study, the importance and role of qanats on the urban and rural settlements viability has been recognized; and finally by using synthetic method, 27 articles in a codified and principled manner were filtered among 58 selected articles and then they coded. By reviewing these articles, finally 5 dimensions as the main categories including physical, environmental, managerial, economic and socio-cultural dimensions and a total of 164 open codes, is identified, extracted and classifiedthat they are mentioned in domestic and foreign research as the role of qanats on the viability of human settlements The results of this study show that the qanat is a tool of sustainable life that has affected all aspects of environmental, physical, economic, socio-cultural and managerial human settlements and their livability.

The issue of intra-regional and inter-regional inequality in many countries is a major challenge to development. This inequality is one of the manifestations of the Third World countries and is due to the economic, social and political conditions of these countries. This study examined the extent of deprivation among urban and rural areas and settlements. This research was compiled as a descriptive-analytical nature of the applied studies and its data was documented. To measure social deprivation, 18 indicators were used, economic deprivation of 20 indicators, and 11 indicators were used for environmental deprivation. The results of the study showed that rural settlements have been deprived of social and economic deprivation more than urban residences, and these settlements are less deprived of urban residences in terms of environmental deprivation. Also, in terms of the combination of deprivation index, which was used as a cluster analysis technique. Provinces of the country were classified into three deprived departments: low, medium and high. According to this analysis, provinces with a lower depreciation level were concentrated in the central and central parts of the country, and these regions comprise the largest urban population, and in contrast, The areas of the average deprivation rate have been the highest in the eastern and western parts of the country, and these provinces have the most rural populations in the country.

Environmental hazards are one of the influential factors in human societies and are considered as major disasters. According to the UNDP Global Report on Disaster Risk, floods, earthquakes and droughts have the highest financial and human losses. The main purpose of this study is to assess and zoning the vulnerability of urban settlements in Khuzestan province to flood risk. In the research, using fuzzy and hierarchical analysis methods, the existing layers are standardized and a weight is assigned to each of the criteria, and finally, the final flood map in Khuzestan province is prepared based on the overlap models. The results of flood zoning showed that Khuzestan region is divided into five areas of very high, high, medium, low and very low vulnerability in terms of flood vulnerability. Areas with very high vulnerability with an area of ​​14177 square kilometers about 23%, areas with high vulnerability with an area of ​​20077 square kilometers about 32.7%, areas with moderate vulnerability in terms of flooding about 9509 square kilometers and 15.5% and areas with low vulnerability and Very little, with 11,355 and 6,303 square kilometers, respectively, they cover about 18.5% and 10.3% of the area of ​​Khuzestan province. Also among the about 37 important cities located in this province; 18 cities are located in areas with very high vulnerability and 12 cities in areas with high vulnerability in terms of floods.

Natural disasters are a set of harmful events that are natural origin that sometimes human factors are also effective in exacerbating. In the same vein strengthening the social and economic component and after that resiliency can play an important and effective role in reducing flood damage. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive –analytical and field nature. Survey method and data gathering tool were closed questionnaires, the analysis method is based on correlation and regression test. The statistical population includes citizens living around the river and flood areas that 383 people selected as sample and the questionnaire was distributed by cluster sampling among respondents, according to research finding , the average social resilience 1/60 , average economic aberration ( the amount of damage ) 4/53 ,average capacity with ability to compensate 8/69 , eventually average return to appropriate condition 4/67 .in the test section, hypotheses are determined according to the result of the regression test and correlation which has a significant relationship between urban and urban spatial and social dimensions. Strengthen local organs and organizations in a decentralized state  , one of the important ways to increase the social participation of citizens of Gorgan during the crisis.by providing people's participation and strengthening the people's economic ability when natural hazards occur including flood, the initiative of the people is strengthened and the scope for reducing the damage caused by the flood is reduced . people are faced with real and tangible issues with the executive and so on their gap crisis management and conflicts of interest will diminish.

In the 21st century, not only has scientific and technological advances of societies not reduce existing risks; but have created and extended local and global dangers that never existed before. As a result, social welfare and quality of life in a precarious society are in danger. The main objective of this research is the interrelationship that there is between quality of life and vulnerability in the low and very problematic neighborhoods of Zanjan. The research method is descriptive-analytical and research survey. To obtain descriptive tests such as average indices, SPss software and thematic maps of Geographical Information systems (GIS) have been used. The results show that the average quality of life indices in the Karmandan neighborhood was better compared to the Islamabad neighborhood. In addition, the vulnerability indices in both neighborhoods were different based on the Mercalli intensity scenarios of 5 and 8. The severity of damage based on the Mercalli intensity scenario of 5 in the studied neighborhoods is lower, while this rate was significantly increased based on the Mercalli intensity scenario of 8. It can be said that the increase in the severity of damage indicates that the studied neighborhoods are not venerable and that the quality of life of their residents will be affected by the damage.

Analysis of the urban system of the south-east of the country is necessary because of the strategic importance of this region and with the aim of recognizing and providing a platform for balanced development, appropriate distribution of population and utilization of environmental capabilities. Therefore, recognizing the environmental, social and economical potentialities and capabilities of the cities of over 10,000 people in three provinces in southeastern Iran (Kerman, Sistan and Baluchestan and Hormozgan) with a regional development approach, is in line with the development of a balanced development of the reasons for writing this research. In fact, the purpose of the present research is to initially investigate the urban system of the southeastern parts of the country, and then, according to assessments of the current status of the urban hierarchy system, its impact on the future of regional development indicators. The results showed that urban hierarchy imbalance is one of the main characteristics of the urban system in the southeastern region, which has resulted in the lack of necessary small infrastructures and small towns. Also, the results of the futuristic model showed. Considering the importance of demographic indicators and their impact on the future of regional development indicators and the involvement of multiple elements, it is clear that the variables of urban management practices (36) and development status Human Indicators (35) have the highest calculated column value, respectively. In other words, the most important feature of these variables is low impact and high impact, and they are referred to as strategic factors, whose reinforcement boosts development in this region and has a positive impact on the economic, social and environmental dimensions.

The re-emergence of the issue of quality of life in recent years is due to the interest in human development, social development, sustainable development, the health community, and so on. In this regard, this research intends to plan using the special forecasting methods for settlements in Zanjan city based on a new perspective of planning. The method of research based on new methods of futures studies is explanatory. Factors were evaluated by 30 urban planners and experts, using environmental scans, analyzing interactive / structural effects And the MICMAC Futuristics Specialist Software has been used to analyze the effective factors of the future location of urban settlements. The results showed that the dispersion status of the variables affecting the future status of the quality of life in urban settlements is different. In the neighborhood of Islamabad, the state of the system is unstable and most of the variables are dispersed around the diameter of the plate and While in the Karmandn neighborhood distribution area, variables follow the form of a stable system and variables are partially in the form L distributed. Among the 34 surveyed agents, in Karmandan neighborhood 9 and in the neighborhood of Islamabad, 12 major factors were selected as the key factors affecting the future quality of life situation which all factors are repeated in both direct and indirect ways. The findings showed that in the Karmandan neighborhood, most social factors, such as the factors of participation, identity, local councils, good urban governance, have been raised While in the neighborhood of Islamabad economic factors (including land and housing prices, employment of residents) And physical (including construction based on the laws of the engineering system, per capita and user levels, supervision during construction, ownership (capture security), housing quality) As key factors affecting the quality of future life of these settlements.

The presented study aims to evaluate and analyze the urban housing indicators with an emphasis on the typology of housing and it examines the residential units in Gorgan’s regions in terms of accessibility to the facilities, physical, qualitative and quantitative characteristics, and satisfaction of housing architecture indicators. The purpose of this research is Practical-development, and in order to achieve this goal, a combination of descriptive, analytical and correlation researches are used. The statistical population of the research is Gorgan and the sample size is 384 cases. SPSS and GIS software used to analyze the data.IntroductionWith global demographic changes, cities have increasingly felt the need of housing. Residence is the most important need of people and the largest space of the city must have dedicated to work out this most basic need. In small cities, more than 60% and in large cities, about 40% of the city covered by the residential usage. The economic and social importance of housing, on the one hand, and the employment and its relationship with many other sectors of the economy as an appropriate tool for the realization of economic policies in the other hand, has placed this sector at the center of public attention. cognition and proper categorization of different architectural types can be helpful in better understanding of the space, protecting it, and achieving new design techniques. The current research on the general framework of its primary and secondary goals, studies the housing estates of Gorgan city from the point of view of housing typology according to the indicators of housing planning in the triple urban areas.MethodologyThe purpose of this research is Practical-development, and in order to achieve this goal, a combination of descriptive, analytical and correlation researches are used. In order to collect information about the field studies and documentary studies used and in the field studies method, a researcher-made questionnaire developed. The statistical population of the study consists of 53462 residential units in and the sample size will be 384 residential units based on Cochran's formula distributed by multistage randomized sampling method. Reliability of the questionnaires equals 0.82 using Cronbach's alpha test. Data analyzed by using SPSS software, Excel software and Arc GIS software used to prepare the map.Results and discussionIn the section of describing the demographic data, 53/6% of the total sample population is male and 46/4% is women. The variation of household density in the whole community of the sample, based on the number of the family members, indicates that the families with the population of four with 33.06 percent constitute the largest proportion of the total population of the sample. In the study of the index of the number of residential units, the largest share with 26% belongs to a residential building with 6 to 8 residential units. The highest level of infrastructure in the triple areas is for buildings of 50 to 100 square meters. In first area with (46/35%), in the second area with (49/64%) and in second third area with (50/42%) However, the least abundance in first area belongs to buildings with an area of over 300 square meters with 2/43 percent, in the second and third district, buildings with an area of less than 50 square meters contain 3.0 percent and 3/36 percent, respectively. In studying the results of the land price index, the highest land prices with 30/67% belongs to the group of 1 to 1.5 million tomans and the lowest share with 9/33% is for the lands with a value above 2 million tomans. The results of the type of materials index shows that the largest share belongs to residential buildings with brick materials (33/34%) and in the study of residential buildings life index, the largest share belongs to buildings with a lifetime of 1 to 10 years (51/2%) and the lowest proportion of residential buildings over 20 years old (19/74%). The result of the tests, made on the regions, indicates that among the five variables of typology, in the first region, physical variable with a beta coefficient of 0/657 in the first stage, and quantitative variable with a beta coefficient of 0/341 in the second stage, In the second region qualitative variables with a beta coefficient of 0/409 in the first stage and the physical variable with a beta coefficient of 0/238 in the second step and in the third region, physical variable with a beta coefficient of 0/623 in the first stage and the access variable with a beta coefficient of 0/325 were verified and other variables of the typology were eliminate from the equation.ConclusionBased on the results, the most difference and diversity of housing in terms of typology is in the second district of Gorgan and the least is in the first urban area. Due to the wide variety of indices and components of housing in the second region, the variability of the population in this region, the obvious different level of economic activities of the people who live in this region, and the high percentage of immigrants in this area along with other indigenous inhabitants of the region. The first region due to its location in the best part of the city and the so-called top-notch region of the area, which shows the economic prosperity of people living in this area and the close cultural-social level of the inhabitants of the region, As well as the much like similarity between the residential buildings of the area with each other with a slight difference, the same access to all the facilities of the city has made the region the least diverse in terms of indicators and components of the typology of the housing. Region 3, as it is seen, has a moderate rank in terms of variety and distinction of typology, which can be attributed to the close proximity of the immigrant and indigenous peoples of this region in terms of social, economic and cultural which are reflected by the housing structures and Specifications of housing qualities and qualities.

Quality of life is a complex, multi dimensional, time and place dependent concept. One of the important factors affecting quality of life is the size of the dwelling. Accordingly, the present study seeks to investigate the relationship between city size and quality of life. The study area is urban settlements of Guilan and Mazandaran provinces. Objective data on quality of life were extracted from the population census of 2016 and subjective data on quality of life using a researcher-made questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics techniques including mean, standard deviation, one-sample T test, correlation analysis and principal component analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the objective dimension of quality of life including housing quality, access to facilities and services, literacy rate and access to job opportunities had a positive and significant correlation with city size and subjective dimension of quality of life including relaxation, life satisfaction, opportunity and social capital have a significant negative correlation with city size.

The spatial structure of the urban settlement system in a geographical domain requires a good foundation to achieve maximum productivity. By this way, the aim of the current research is to study the urban settlement planning of West Azerbaijan which is highly uncertain due to its geographical location, ethnic diversity and environmental issues. Economic freedom in the Maku Free Zone, the expansion of markets at 7 border areas of the province, the development of the Miandoab-Tehran communication network, the creation of a railway roundabout, the economic development of the Baneh region, policies to deal with ever decreasing agricultural activities due to the water and environmental crisis, making decisions on creating special economic areas in Mahabad, Urmia, Salmas and Miandoab ...are regional and local trends that have caused uncertainty in the settlement pattern of the province and the human space flow, goods and services. In a nutshell, the study aims to identify settlement scenarios of the province and the framework for the deployment of services, infrastructures and flow of capital, goods and humans in the region for spatial planning. This is a type of applied research and, in essence, based on new scientific, analytical and investigative methods. The statistical population of the study is 30 professors, experts and specialists in the field of spatial planning. The data gathering method was used to examine the effective factors on the urban settlements system of the province, both in documentary (secondary data) and survey (primary data), for which questionnaire and interviews were used as a survey method. To analyze the data, a combination of Delphi methods, Cross-impact analysis, and Mick-Mac software were used. 45 variables were found to be the main and strategic ones affecting the planning of the urban settlement system of West Azerbaijan province that were analyzed via Mick-Mc software.Finally, 11 effective factors were identified with 33 statuses. Accordingly, the midway and the pessimistic assumptions in the best possible range were defined to be the worse. Given theoretical foundations of the proposed study, the spatial scenarios of the province in terms its geographic extent and severity, multiplicity of cities, location and regional potentials can be summarized as follows: 
First Scenario (Polar Scenario): By choosing this scenario, the future settlement system of the province will have following outcomes:- Deletion permissions to settlement perimeter will be too low due to high concentration and security reasons and high ethnic diversity in the province as well as its inappropriate form and shape.
- The polar scenario is an illustration of highly-concentrated settlement system in which responsibility for decisions, policies, management and their implementation will be simultaneously focused on the city of Urumia.
- Urumia is practically the center of commodity exchanges at the provincial level and will be a key link for each settlement in the city.
Second Scenario (Cluster Scenario): The obvious features of this scenario are as follows:- Although the centralization dominates the province, by coordinating and collaborating widely between settlements, reduces the focus on the province's space relative to the radical scenario. One of the main reasons for this decrease is the existence of large urban centers such as Khoy in the north, Urumia in the center, Miandoab in the south;
- In this scenario, a number of larger settlements compete with the center of Urumia, and play a central role for its surroundings.
- The headquarters of each cluster manages its communication.
Third Scenario (Archipelago Scenario): In general, the typical features of this scenario in West Azerbaijan province are as follows:- The lack of extensive cooperation between settlements, spatial dispersion of housing, as well as the developmental equality of settlements causing communications flows mainly carried out within limited areas (cities and regions).
- The scenario of the archipelago is an image of the West Azerbaijan province as an island facing local markets and urban areas
Fourth Scenario (Multi-center): The typical features of this scenario are as follows:- In a multi-centered scenario, focusing on the province's space is due to the development of some settlements and the wide-ranging collaboration between them. However, due to inappropriate form and body and some restrictions in different areas, there is a relative dependence on clusters.
- In this scenario, the urban complexes of the province have changed from one central space to a multicentre urban complex. Due to high convergence between central settlements and their interaction with each other, macro policies are taken collaboratively by central settlements of main areas.
Fifth Scenario (Network): The typical features of this scenario are as follows:- This scenario presents a picture of a networked city complex (both in urban and rural settlement).
- Each settlement itself manages its connections with other settlements.
- In this scenario, no settlement is dependent on other settlements. Considering the current status of central and star structure of the urban system of West Azerbaijan province, the multi-centered urban network is suitable especially due to potentially powerful cities of Khoy, Mako, Miandoab and Mahabad, the northern- southern stretch of the province, geopolitical location after realizing the multi-centered model and providing an appropriate infrastructure and substrate. The transition from the multicenter model to the network will be provided. To reach the multi-centered urban network, which is the scenario of choice for the provincial urban system, the cluster and hierarchical stage of the city's network must be reached in early phases of the province's development. Once an appropriate infrastructure and substrate is provided, the multi-center urban scenario will be realized.

The metropolises have a considerable population and are full of man-made spaces. Taking advantage of the resilience approach of urban land use allows urban planners and managers to minimize the probability of physical and financial damage when natural disasters occur with sufficient preparedness. The purpose of this study was to identify the dimensions and factors affecting structural-natural resilience and to determine indicators of urban land use resilience in Tehran's 4th district. The present study belongs to the applied research group. Librarian and field method were used for data collection. The theoretical framework of the research was developed in the form of a library method by reviewing the theoretical and empirical texts related to the subject of research. Criteria and factors affecting land use resilience were reviewed by sources and a questionnaire was used to prepare the final list of criteria and their prioritization. After completing the questionnaires by 20 faculty members and experts in urban and rural planning, environmental planning and urban planning, the criteria were weighted by FANP method. Ground cover extracted from Landsat 2017 satellite imagery was categorized into ENVI 4.8 software. The stratified layers were then grouped in fuzzy IDRISI environment and in ARC MAP. The effect of weight of each of the effective criteria on the resilience of the layers and the composition of the maps was determined by the resilience. The results show that the average structural-natural resilience of land use in this area is 0.86 and resilient.

One of the natural hazards that threaten our country's many world cities, including the earthquakes. The city Dena Given the existence of active faults, seismic areas, lacks of standards, poor physical development, and so this is no exception. The aim of this study Dena township spatial zoning of seismic hazard identification and urban settlements located in areas with a high-risk earthquake zone. The results show that 11/79 percent of 124/33 square kilometers township Dena has a high seismic risk of the entire city. 27/40 percent to 288/83 square kilometers is a risk of high seismicity. The results showed those 411/23 square kilometers, equivalent to 32 percent of the city Dena have a low seismic risk. According to the results, Pataveh in terms of the risk of earthquakes in the seismic risk is relatively low, medium, and hard disks in terms of seismic risk are relatively moderate and high and areas around the city are a very high seismic risk. Also, 17/12 percent From villages Dena township are In high-risk zones, 97/33 percent, In the medium risk zone, 25/35 percent In areas with low risk, As well as 29 villages, Equivalent to 58/18% of rural settlements and villages In the earthquake zone, with no risk. The highest area of hard disks in the high and very high-risk zone with an area of 215 square kilometers and the largest area of high seismic risk is in the range high which is equivalent to 278 square kilometers. Strategic review of the role of the ruler showed strength with weight matrix 204/0 in the first quarter and ST-weight strategy is 0/203.

Assessment and evaluation is an accepted way to achieve sustainable development goals which can be seen as a means for environmental potential effects which is caused by implantation of construction and development projects in urban areas. This assessment can identify the potential effects of the project and provide an optimal choice to complete the project. Mazandaran province with diverse appropriate ecosystem is one of the most populated area of Iran which is suitable for human living but in recent years has shown a dramatically increase in rural population rate. This has led to an increase in urbanization rate which is consequently caused an increasing pressure on the environment. This research had been conducted with aiming analysis of environmental condition of urban settlement in Mazandaran province with application of VIKOR method. A comparative study of environmental condition of urban settlement revealed that settlements in tow cities of Mazandaran, namely Noshahr and Amol have achieved first and last grate among other cities accordingly.

Sustainable development of urban settlements has been largely dimensions which is dependent on the spatial and temporal. And to identify the need to evaluate the stability of indicators of various aspects of social, economic and environmental. This study also aims to assess and evaluate sustainable development indicators descriptive - analytical and Ardabil province has taken a bit of urban settlements. For this purpose the required data have collected from the Statistical Yearbook of 1390, as well as statistics and reports from the various departments and organizations. Then, using a barometer to measure and evaluate sustainability sustainable urban settlements in the social, economic and environmental aspects of the city of Ardebil province. The results show that the implementation of the barometric Stability as the capital of the province of Ardabil city social sustainability indicators (79/0) and economic sustainability indicators (71/0) with the major difference compared to other cities in the province is potentially stable condition. Another major difference compared to the provincial capital city of the province of the potentially unstable and unstable, respectively. In terms of environmental indicators in order Bilesavar city (68/0) Meshginshahr (58/0), Pars Abad (54/0) in the first three priorities and the city of Ardabil (41/0) is the fourth priority. In the Ardabil Province of human well-being out of Ecosystem Ratings (35/0) is rather low. Therefore it can be concluded that the stability of Ardabil Settlements The stability of the region is not a suitable and requires planning with regard to the strengths and weaknesses of each region.

Solid waste materials are among the inevitable products of every society and their management is one of the basic needs of every community. Therefore, it is essential that the manager of solid waste materials perform in a frame of a systematic and targeted system, so that in cases of need, he can prevent reduction of resources and even environmental pollution. Therefore, the present research, with the aim of evaluating solid waste materials’ management system in the urban residences of Mazandaran Province and with the aim to present the necessary preparation to improve it, was undertaken. The method in this research is descriptive– analytical type. Thus, after studying the literature of research, the Delphi method was used for selection criteria. Then, in order to equalize comparison criteria, distance bipolar comparison method was used and in order to determine the proportional importance of the criteria, the weighting techniques and the Anthropic method were used.In this study, evaluating and ranking was performed using Multi-Criterion Decision Making Methods. Therefore, in the compensatory group, Multi-Characteristics Decision Making Models; from subgroup of grading and scoring, simple total weight method; and, from adaptive subgroup, the rating method based on the similarity were used ideally and finally. The final ranking was determined using the average method of ranks. It seems that cities of Babol and Abbass-Abad have allocated themselves the first and the last ranks in urban residences and in next rates, cites like Tonekabon, Babolsar after cities of Babol, and cities of Farim and Balladeh are located after Abbass Abad.

Iran before the present century has owned a relatively modest system, but in the last six decades, the capitalization development within the oil-based economic framework has led to urban system spatial imbalances in the country. On the other hand, the Spatial Equilibrium of the Urban System in National- Regional Levels is in the pledge of Spatial Equilibrium in region. So, the present study, with the objective of examining the Spatial Equilibrium of the Urban System in National- Regional Levels for 1956- 2012, has been performed. This method is descriptive - analytical. The statistical society includes the urban settlements in the past 60 years and data collection method is as evidence. In this study, in order to examine the spatial equilibrium of urban system in Iranian Provinces, the Entropy Model was used. This is evident that considering that the urban system tends to a desirable spatial equilibrium, but because of the difference with normal rate, the imbalance of spatial equilibrium of the urban system in national- regional levels in Iran is remained as in the case of the number of urban settlements, it is more evident.

Due to Irregular Growth and Expansion of cities, especially in developing countries, various issues and difficulties have arisen in different Economic, Social and Ecological Fields and various measurements and approaches in order to supply desirable conditions for today and future generations. Healthy City Approach is one these approaches as today it’s a new mechanism proposed by the World Health Organization and running of course, but assessing that what city is healthy or when comparing to other cities in what level of healthy is located, still remains as a complicated and ambiguous affair. In this study, using Delphi Method and Entropy Method, the criteria and indicators of Healthy City Approach and Proportional Priority Rate of parameters mentioned above are determined, respectively. Then, in order to prioritize the urban settlements through Healthy City Approach, the methods of SAW, TOPSIS and LA have been applied. Considering that the results obtained by methods mentioned above didn’t have consistency in cases, therefore, in order to reach a general consensus, integration of Breda and Cap Land Methods were used for final prioritization. Evaluation and prioritization of urban settlements with healthy city approach in cities of Mazandaran indicating the city of Babol in Mazandaran province has allocated the first rank and city of Galoogah, Neka and Savadkoo have also allocated final rank to themselves. Next ranks, cities like Sari, Babol, and Noshahr after Babol enjoy more desirable condition, respectively, but instead cities of Joybar, Amol and Mahmood Abad, enjoy more undesirable conditions before cities of Galoogah, Neka and Savadkoo, respectively. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate and prioritize urban settlements in city with Healthy City Approach in cites of province of Mazandaran has been developed.
